My current theory is that the flag used to also be used in another section of code that checked if any of the expanded aliases began with a space. I had no idea that this code existed before I removed it from my local version. Also, the code doesn't seem to work in the versions of zsh that I have access to (a slightly modified 3.0.6 and the very latest CVS version), so I don't plan to re-implement this space-starting-alias functionality (at least, not right away). ..wayne..
